Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 3 large and round bell peppers
  • 1/2 lb ground Italian sausage
  • 1/2 yellow onion
  • 1 small green bell pepper
  • 2 cups cooked rice (long grain white rice)
  • 1/4 cup diced green onion
  • 1/2 tsp thyme
  • salt and pepper
  • About 1/2 cup grated fresh Parmesan cheese

Instruction

  • (If needed, cook rice first according to the package instructions and set aside in a large mixing bowl.)
  • Preheat an oven-safe skillet on stovetop, over medium heat.
  • Thinly slice yellow onion and green bell pepper and saute with some salt and black pepper until golden. Add to rice.
  • Brown ground sausage in the same skillet and once it's done, add to rice as well.
  • Add diced green onion, thyme, salt and pepper to the bowl with rice and mix all until evenly combined.
  • Preheat the oven to 375.
  • Cut bell peppers in half, lengthwise, and clean them out, taking out all seeds and membrane.
  • Lay bell pepper halves in the skillet, like little cups, and pack them with sausage/rice mixture.
  • Sprinkle about 1-2 tablespoons of cheese on top.
  • Place the skillet in the oven for 20-25 minutes, until the peppers are soft. (Personally, I like them a little bit crunchy but you may need to adjust baking time according to your taste. Bake them longer if you want peppers softer.)
